Theoretical analysis reveals generalized Vaidya solutions in Cotton and conformal killing gravity, suggesting new dynamics.
We demonstrate that the non-vacuum field equations of Cotton gravity and Conformal Killing gravity admit a generalized class of Vaidya-type solutions. In particular, beyond the standard induced term associated with the matter source, the generalized metric incorporates two additional correction terms of purely geometric origin, arising from the unique structure of these theories. This extended solution generalizes the classical Vaidya spacetime in General Relativity and offers new insights into the dynamics of radiating spacetimes within the framework of these third-rank gravity theories.
